London escorts were very popular in the 18th century when the term for escorts that was more commonly used was courtesan.

Catherine Walters was born on 13th June 1839 and started off her young adult life as a fashion trendsetter until along with Alice Keppel she became one of the last famous courtesans that lived in Victorian London.

Catherine Walters was said to have been a courtesan to the heads of political parties as well as the British royal family. Catherine’s nickname ‘Skittles’ was thought to have come from when she had worked in a bowling alley and her classical beauty and skills as a horsewoman made her renowned.

During the 1860s Catherine had become well known and drew crowds when she was riding in Hyde Park. Ladies of the aristocracy would copy her dress and ‘Princess’ riding habit. Catherine was depicted in the 1861 painting by Sir Edwin Landseer’s “The Taming of the Shrew” where a young woman is shown trying to control a frisky horse.

Amongst Catherine’s lovers were the Marquess of Hartington Spencer Cavendish, the Marquess of Hartington whom she followed to New York in the American Civil War; Napoleon III, King Edward VII and poet Wilfred Scawen Blunt.
